Dalla quarta di copertina:
Newton (on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of his Principia, a date that passed virtually unnoticed
except by Morowitz), Murray Gell-Mann, and Aristotle. Of Aristotle, Morowitz observes that “most people
whose information comes from academic philosophy fail to appreciate that—among his many fields of
expertise—first and foremost, Aristotle was a biologist.” Indeed, fully a third of Aristotle’s writings are
on the life sciences, almost all of which has been left out of standard editions of his work. Many other
pieces focus on health issues—such as America’s obsession with cheese toppings, the addiction to
smoking of otherwise intelligent people, questionable obstetric practices—and several touch upon ethics,
whistle-blowing, and scientific research. There is also a fascinating piece on the American Type Culture
Collection, a zoo or warehouse for microbes that houses some 11,800 strains of bacteria, and over
3,000 specimens of protozoa, algae, plasmids, and oncogenes.
Here then are over forty light, graceful essays in which one of our wisest experimental biologists
comments on issues of science, technology, society, philosophy, and the arts.
